• Sharing the Burden: How Corporatism Shapes the Division of Environmental Tax Revenue AI翻译
  作者：Dalen, Par
  作者单位：Stockholm University
  摘要：This comparative study spanning more than two decades examines how corporatist institutions shape the distribution of environmental tax revenue between producers and consumers. Environmental taxes have become a key policy instrument for addressing climate change and other environmental problems, but their effectiveness and political viability likely depend on how these taxes are collected and distributed. We develop two competing theoretical perspectives with opposing expectations: corporatist...
• Steering the Green Transition in the European Union? Analysis of the European Commission's Strategic Communication AI翻译
  作者：Reither, Susanne; Radulova, Elissaveta; Spendzharova, Aneta

  摘要：This paper examines the strategic communication of the European Commission about developing a regulatory approach and financial instruments to foster the greening of the European economy over a period of 14 years (2009-2023). We investigate in-depth the strategic communication of three European Commission Colleges led by Barroso, Juncker, and von der Leyen, respectively. We analyze an original dataset of 57 Commission Communications using qualitative content analysis. The paper demonstrates th...
• The Comparative Political Economy of the Green Transition: Economic Specializations and Skills Regimes in Europe AI翻译

  摘要：The green transition is fundamentally transforming contemporary economies and societies. This article investigates how European models of capitalism perform and specialize across the green value chain-conceptualized as innovation, manufacturing, services, and deployment-and how national skill formation systems underpin these specializations. Integrating insights from comparative capitalism literatures with descriptive statistics and principal component analysis (PCA), we develop and test expec...

  摘要：Companies increasingly adopt internal norms to enhance compliance with legal rules. However, the rapid growth in volume and complexity of such internal rules may obstruct employee knowledge and understanding of such internal rules, and therefore also their compliance. The present study seeks to understand whether shorter and more accessible formats of internal company norms will yield better knowledge and understanding of such norms. The study consists of an extensive online field experiment r...
• Impact Assessment as Agenda-Setting: Procedural Politicking and the Mobilization of Bias in the European Union's Audiovisual Media Services Directive AI翻译
  作者：Brooks, Eleanor; Lauber, Kathrin
  作者单位：University of Edinburgh
  摘要：Though often framed as a technocratic tool, impact assessment is a core element of the political agenda-setting process. In this article, we show that decisions about what is subject to legislative debate are made during impact assessment; specifically, during the drafting of the assessment report. Using a social process tracing methodology, we analyze the removal from the agenda of provisions for stronger alcohol advertising rules during the revision of the EU's Audiovisual Media Services Dir...
• Corporate Governance in a Crypto-World AI翻译
  作者：Davidson, Sinclair
  作者单位：Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT)
  摘要：This paper explores the nature of governance both within and by blockchains and the economies they support. There is a widespread assumption that the proper governance model for these economies is political. In this paper, I make an alternative claim, namely that a more accurate model for blockchain governance is as a species of corporate governance. Political and corporate governance are similar, but they solve different problems with different incentives. Political governance, at its base, s...
• Instrumental Approach to Institutional Corruption: Explaining Performance-Conditional Acceptance of Corruption Among Citizens in European Countries AI翻译
  作者：Mizrahi, Shlomo; Bar, Shani
  作者单位：University of Haifa
  摘要：This article explores the mechanisms through which institutional corruption and engagement in corruption at the societal level may be normalized to the extent that citizens adopt an instrumental approach to corruption. Such an approach means that the public accepts corrupt practices and sees them as reasonable, as long as they achieve results that they see as beneficial. We develop a theoretical framework that includes institutional and behavioral independent variables. We then test our resear...
• Transparency or Access? E-Procurement's Two Paths to Integrity: Evidence From Italy AI翻译
  作者：Gaeta, Giuseppe Lucio; Malandrino, Anna; Di Mascio, Fabrizio
  作者单位：University of Naples L'Orientale; University of Turin
  摘要：This paper examines whether e-procurement adoption is associated with procedural competition and transparency, two core components of procurement integrity. Using award-level microdata for Italian regional contracting authorities (2019-2023), we analyze a period preceding the legal obligation of full-cycle digital procurement, when the use of e-procurement tools remained discretionary across authorities. We construct three procedure-level indicators-notice-to-deadline length, single bidding, a...
• Trust in Regulation in a Time of Revolution AI翻译
  作者：Ford, Cristie
  作者单位：University of British Columbia
  摘要：This article examines trust in regulation as a core value and precondition of the modern liberal democratic regulatory state. It develops a concept of justified trust in regulation, grounded in regulatory trustworthiness-honesty, competence, and reliability-rather than in proxies such as partisan loyalty, blind faith, obedience, or resignation. The article situates this conception of regulatory trustworthiness within liberal democratic rule-of-law commitments to equal respect, fairness, and ac...
• The Formation of Stakeholders' Trust in Regulatory Agencies: The Relationship Between Contact Frequency, Media Coverage, and Stakeholder Trust in Regulatory Agencies AI翻译
  作者：Diaz, Jana Gomez; Pikos, Anna; Salomonsen, Heidi Houlberg; Guaschino, Edoardo

  摘要：This article investigates the formation of stakeholders' trust in regulatory agencies, as the extent to which contact frequency and sentiment of media coverage are related to different types of stakeholders' trust. Based upon original survey data from diverse stakeholders, and media coverage from 2015 to 2020 of agencies in the food safety, financial regulation, and data protection sectors across seven countries, the analysis suggests that media coverage rather than contact frequency is import...
